Eighty-five Percent of All Centenarians are Women: Louise Bourgeois & Beatrice Wood at the Santa Monica Museum of Art (SMMoA)

A lecture by Jenni Sorkin, Assistant Professor of Critical Studies and Art History at the School of Art, University of Houston. Sorkin offers a feminist re-reading of Beatrice Wood's (1893-1998) and Louise Bourgeois's (1911-2010) dramatic personae and artistic practices. In the twilight of their lives, these two artists remained highly influential as proto-feminists and iconoclasts.
